I use this thing everyday. It's not just some computer that my Dad use to have and I have a dell that I use, this thing is my life. I am posting on it right now. My dad refuses to get us faster internet or get me a new computer. He has everything he needs at his office, and when he's home, he uses his laptops. Yes it is plural. He has more than one and will not give any to me. For internet he uses his Sony Treo and connects to his computer and he has a little Verizon wireless internet card that he sticks in there. We aren't poor or anything, it's just that my parents insist on spending all their money on themselves. My mom just bought two $6000 granite counter tops for our kitchen. My dad has numerous computers and phones. I have a pre-paid phone and he has at least 3 Treos. I hate them.

EDIT:Oh yeah I forgot. I asked for a new computer last christmas, guess what they got me. An iPod. :mad: I sold it to a kid at school for $100

How old are you? If it's really as bad as you described you could just get a job, buy everything for yourself and not give any to them. When they finally run out of money and can't buy what they want, you can rub it in their face.

Well I'm 15 and turning 16 in the summer, and all the money I get I have to spend on my band. We probably have around $8000 in equipment and we need it all.

EDIT: And my band and I had to pay for most of it. My parents only paid for like $200 of the $8000

whoa guys. something weird just is happening with my computer. I refreshed the page and now everything looks as if I was browsing the internet on a Sega Dreamcast. I would take screen shots but due to the awfulness of my computer I don't even have that function.

EDIT:ok now it's back. That has never happened. It looked like it was viewing Facepunch in like basic HTML or something.

Then what on earth are you doing on Facepunch? Did you register just to whine at us about a game you can't play? I don't get it.

Well I have to whine. No one on the face of this earth can live with these specs and not complain, and Facepunch is the only place where people will know what I'm talking about. What kind of replies do you think I would get if I said that in a MyspaceIM Chat room?

EDIT:Oh I don't plan on playing any games. It would just be nice if I could have more than one window or program running without my computer stalling for more than 10 seconds every time I press a button.

In my opinion, my computer's fucking incredible. But everyone who comes over to my house complains about how much it sucks.

:(

You probably just have a slow internet connection, or the site to which they're trying to connect is slow and taking a long time to respond (like FP), so it's automatically: "OH MY GOD WHY IS YOUR CUMPOOTER SO SLOOW?" "...well actually that probably has more to do with the server providing this content-" "WHATEVER YOUR COMPUTER'S JUST STUPID"

Install linux it will seem to be faster, I use damn small linux sometimes on my old computer which is worse that yours. Luck you get a high download and bandwidth than I do 4.2 is the highest I get, 2.4 kb/s is my current.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Look for the least intensive distro of Linux you can find and throw it on there. It'll be a bitch to download it, but at least you'll have a fully functioning piece of shit instead of a piece of shit that only functions as 98 sees fit.
